Landscaper

I hear diversification is important. I am working on expanding my skill set. This week I took up sewing

and watercolor painting.

Mom had another one of her ‘great’ ideas. Make Mother’s Day cards with celery. I played along.

Dad went wild and crazy this week and made waffles, whipped cream, and strawberries for dessert.

Getting dressed to deal with COVID 19:

The Bigs bought rocks. 1700 pounds of rocks…

and told me to go do some landscaping.

Not too shabby.

Another thing I have been working on. Taking pictures. I took some of my landscaping job. Phlox:

Amazon mist grass:

Creeping phlox:

Autumn joy sedum:

Ice plant:

Moon glow juniper (and a soon-to-be-planted Colorado weeping blue spruce):

I got the hops strung this weekend too.

And I planted eight tomato plants (sun gold cherry tomatoes). Pop tells me if these plants survive, I will have enough tomatoes for a small army. Pop has not seen what I eat on a daily basis lately.

Plant tomatoes? But it’s too soon, you say? Not when you have walls o’ water.

I’m not sure the whole urban farmer thing is going to work out, so I maybe I should continue to add to my skill set. Some chalk art:

We had a yummy new dinner this week. Indian vermicelli with peas and cilantro.

The DaVinci of Bend. That yard is going to look good. Did I tell you I have some really nice Rhode Island rocks for sale?

I’m so excited about all the landscaping! It looks wonderful…. can’t wait to see it in person. Em, you’ve done a great job planting. Wish I were there to plant and dig with you. And I love the sidewalk art…beautiful, and signed by the artist to boot!!
That yummy dessert would certainly make anyone look so happy and excited!!
